Hidden Secrets {Bill Weasley}

103

Immediately Bill engulfed his girlfriend into a big hug, pulling back and bringing her into a short but tender kiss, glancing down at the pregnancy stick she still held onto afterwards. He was overall speechless, just like many of the other people in the room, especially the remaining marauders and Molly, who was tearing up already. 

Harley couldn't believe it herself and stood there as Bill let go of her, she stared up at him. They had discussed children plenty of times and have both agreed that if they were to have children it would be in a few years time because they have only been in a relationship a year and a few months. Was she really ready?

Bill kept his hands on her waist, a wide grin on his lips as the idea of being a father in the next few months was something that came as a shock but he was also could not wait. He tried to read Harley's facial expression but it was such a contortion that he did not have a clue what she was feeling. 

He raised his eyebrows in worry, "This is good, right? We have spoken about it before, love," He said quietly and it felt as if they were the only ones in the room as no one else dared to make a sound. 

She nodded a smile rising on his lips, "Of course, it's just a shock, that's all," she told him, "I mean we said in a few years time but I'm okay, this is happening now, yeah, this is happening now, I don't really know what else to say, but it's happening now." 

Bill chuckled at Harley and brought her into another hug, however, it was short lived because of a cough and Remus approaching them with his hand raised as if he was waiting for permission to speak. "Hi, yeah, um, Weasley, you've impregnated my baby cousin." He said, blinking rapidly, his face like an unimpressed teacher waiting for silence in the class, his lips pursing and his eyebrows raised. 

"I guess that is correct," Bill replied unsure of what to say exactly. 

Sirius joined Remus' side and placed his hand on his best friend's shoulder, "Yeah, we gon' beat yo' arse." he said, matter-of-factly. 

Madison pulled Sirius back, "You will not, you pric-prat, leave them alone!"

"But Maddie!" Sirius whined, stomping his foot like a child. 

Pinching his ear, Madison led Sirius out of the room, the man crying "ow, ow, ow," repeatedly. 

Molly let out a loud cry and pushed passed Remus placing a hand on Bil's cheek and a hand on Harley's. "I'm going to have a grandbaby! My first grandbaby! Oh, Arthur will be so happy and Charlie! Oh, congratulations dearies!" She gushed kissing them on the cheek as well. 

"I'M GOING TO HAVE A GREAT-NEPHEW OR NEICE!" Shouted Lyall out of excitement. Everyone looked at him and he shrugged, "I couldn't hold it in anymore!" 

The man engulfed his niece into a hug and peppered her head with kisses, "Oh, Harley, sweetie, I'm so happy for you! Congratulations to you both. If you need a babysitter I am a retired old man who will be happy to help." 

"Yeah, congratulations!" Belle added and everyone chorused the same thing except for Remus who stared Bill down. 

"I just can't believe it, I still see you as a baby in my head and to think you're now having a baby of your own now is just crazy. But I will offer my support and congratulate you both, you will be great parents." He stated and hugged them both. 

Sirius and Madison returned, Sirius red in the face, Harley assumed that Madison must have beaten the crap out of him or something similar. Sirius glared at Bill but congratulated them both nonetheless. 

Molly continued to cook dinner after ordering Harley to sit down and relax. Harley knew she would be restless throughout this pregnancy if Bill also didn't want her to do anything. She'd also have food poisoning if he was to cook!

The next evening, Charlie was set to arrive from Romania. Bill couldn't wait to see his reaction to becoming an uncle! Arthur had taken the news well, he was flabbergasted but also excited much like the rest of them. His first grandchild! 

Harley was under rest arrest. She was not allowed to do anything despite her, Madison and Tonks all arguing the fact it is only two months in and there wouldn't be any harm to the baby to do some cleaning. 

"But with all of my family's evil heirloom, I don't want you getting hurt!" Sirius would argue back, "Just do nothing and watch us all suffer." Thus Harley sighing and falling asleep on an armchair. 

It was late in the evening when Charlie turned up, Bill and Harley were cuddled up in the corner of the dining room in a small armchair when the man turned up a bright smile on his face. "Evening all," Charlie greeted, "I hope you don't mind but I did not come alone."

Molly shook her head, "I swear, Charles Weasley, if you have brought  dragon with you, we already have a hippogriff in the master bedroom we do not need one of those!"

Charlie snorted, "No, mum, I didn't bring a dragon. Tonks, stand up." He added as he dipped back out of the dining room. 

The woman with bubblegum pink hair stood up gingerly and rocked on the balls of her feet. Charlie re-entered the room holding something behind him, a smile even brighter on his smile. Coming into view was a short, slender, brunette woman with an anxious smile on her face and upon seeing her Tonks let out a squeal and stumbled forward pulling her into a hug. 

Bill and Harley were in shock once more, as were all of the Weasleys. "Is that?" Asked George, pointing at the brunette woman. 

Charlie nodded, "I found Nancy."

Bill and Harley stood up and also greeted the young woman after both of them not seeing Nancy since they left Hogwarts as well. "Decided to come out from hiding?" Bill jested giving her a quick hug. 

"Yeah, I guess," Replied Nancy, "Sorry if I am intruding, Charlie wouldn't take no for an answer."

Molly pushed passed her children and shook her head, "No, no, Nancy, sweetheart, you are more than welcome, you always have been." She embraced Nancy into a large hug and then ushered her and her son to sit down. 

Charlie introduced Nancy to everyone else who didn't know who she was and soon the conversations sparked back up and Nancy was at the heart of one with Ginny and Hermione. 

After a while, Ron asked Bill, "Aren't you gonna tell Charlie and Nancy your guys' news?"

This silenced the room and Charlie looked at his older brother expectantly. Bill and Harley both blushed and Harley edged Bill to tell him. 

"Well come on! I'm not going to sit here all night, Billy-boy!" Exclaimed Charlie.

Bill grinned, "In seven months time, you better be ready to be an uncle."

Charlie's face dropped, "NO WAY!" 

Harley nodded, "Yes way!"

Charlie punched the air, "Go on, my brother!" He exclaimed leaping up and embracing the pair. Bill jokingly pushed him off. Charlie gasped, "I am offended!"

"I have my pregnant girlfriend on my lap!" Bill retorted. 

"Touché."
